These Days (live acoustic 9-27-00)
These days, they come around
Dropping leaves and frozen ground
Those wild summer nights are gone.
A chill is in the air
Wrinkled eyes and thinning hair
No falling stars to wish upon.
The sun sets just for you
To thank you for those things you do
Brilliant colors close the day.
Maybe we'll meet sometime
And tell ourselves we're still alive
Say all those things we meant to say.
These days are mine
I'd sure like to share them with you.
Let's take some time
And do the things that we never do.
I'm feeling fine
But I'd sure like to try something new.
Let's take the time
I want to know the inside of you.
Sometimes I drink despair
I drink 'til I fall off my chair
The ceiling spins, I'm satisfied.
But then the floor gets cold
I realize I'm getting older
There's no one special by my side.
These days...
I want to take a long long ride
Somebody stop my suicide
Kick me right between the eyes
And keep me, keep me occupied.
These years go flying by
Our dreams they live in blue blue sky
I swore it would never happen to me.
So then I sold my soul
I wish I had more self control.
I never thought I'd get this deep.
